The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 83 (3.14.83) (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/hoffer-eric/11263/

#Aging in #humans and the reasons that support high #lifeexpectancies are of general applied interest. Of particular research interest are so-called #supercentenarians in #Brazil. As this population is considered genetically most #diverse due to indigenous, European, and African influences. According to the paper below, the secret to aging in Brazil may lie primarily in a #genetic #predisposition.
